SOMETHING DELICIOUS THIS WAY COMES


Our chef has been busy and rustled up a tasty new Spring menu, perfect for alfresco dining in our extended beer garden area.

Allowing the influence of the recent blast of sunshine to filter into the cooking, you may have trouble deciding what to choose from the many refreshing dishes on offer.

We've already fallen in love with the scallops & seafood in a creamy white wine sauce, served in a choux pastry cup (pictured), and heartily recommend the very yummy smoked bacon & beef roulade.
